EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Paris: The Morgue" captures a haunting scene from the 19th century. Taken by an unknown French photographer, this image is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the historical significance of Paris. The photograph showcases the infamous Morgue in Paris, known for its role in displaying unidentified bodies to help with identification. Situated on Île de la Cité, near Quai de l'Archevêché and Pont St Louis, this eerie location holds stories untold. The composition transports us back to the fin de siècle era, specifically the 1890s. It reflects the atmosphere of that time - mysterious yet captivating. The surrounding architecture adds depth to the image; we can see glimpses of Île St Louis and Place de la Tournelle. As we delve into French history through this photograph, it reminds us of France's rich cultural heritage. From Louis Philippe's reign to present-day French overseas departments and territories, there is much to explore within these borders. Although little information exists about Mr A Pepper, who captured this moment in time as an official photographer for the French Government, his work speaks volumes about his skill and dedication. In collaboration with Look and Learn and Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print allows us to appreciate both artistry and history simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that even in death's presence lies beauty waiting to be discovered.
